broadhead adapters long vs.short

[mec lineman]

getting ready to order some new grizzlies.I know what I need for weight to keep my arrows tuned.I been using short alum.adapters in my stos heads. My question is will I be better off with the longer adaptors with these grizzlies? once I know what adapters I am going to use,I can pick what grain head to buy.  Thanks for any help!

Long steel adapters weigh about a hundred grains if that helps

My personal opinion is that the long adaptors are always better unless using bleeder blades that fit into the slots cut in some broadheads such as Magnus, Eclipse , Zephyrs, etc.  Those necessitate the short ones.

I just glued some up using the Sweetland X-long 36 grain adapter from Braveheart. They fit like a glove inside the 140 gr Grizzlies.

Long adaptors make it easier for me to get my broadheads to spin true. That being said, I use shorts and longs depending on what I want the finished weight, of my broadheads, to be.

reading closely, it sounds like you're asking which are better, long or short adapters????

What I've read is that the longer adapter--fitting into the ferrule deeper is far more stable, stronger and stable than a shortie adapter.

I tend toward the long adapter and adjust accordingly in head weight.

Thanks for all the insight!
